NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
The Toews Tactical Income Fund (the Tactical Income Fund), Toews Hedged U.S. Fund (the U.S. Fund), Toews Hedged Opportunity Fund (formerly, Toews Hedged U.S. Opportunity Fund) (the Opportunity Fund), Toews Unconstrained Income Fund (the Unconstrained Income Fund), and Toews Managed Risk Equity Fund (formerly, Toews Tactical Defensive Alpha Fund) (the Risk Equity Fund) (each a Fund, collectively the Funds), are each a diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Northern Lights Fund Trust (the Trust), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 19, 2005 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Opportunity Fund and the Unconstrained Income Fund are fund of funds in that each Fund will generally invest in other investment companies.
The primary investment objective of each Fund is as follows:
| Fund | Primary Objective | |
| Tactical Income Fund | High Level of Current Income | |
| U.S. Fund | Long Term Growth of Capital | |
| Opportunity Fund | Long Term Growth of Capital | |
| Unconstrained Income Fund | Income and Long-Term Growth of Capital | |
| Risk Equity Fund | Long Term Growth of Capital |
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the Investment Company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies including FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-08.
Segment Reporting – An operating segment is defined as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entitys chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. Each Funds CODM is comprised of its portfolio managers and the chief financial officer of the Trust. Each Fund operates as a single operating segment. Each Funds income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of each Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
Security Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the primary exchange on the day of valuation. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the final settle price or, in the absence of a sale price, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Index options shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trusts Board of Trustees (the Board) based on methods that include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. The independent pricing service does not distinguish between smaller-sized bond positions known as odd lots and larger institutional-sized bond positions known as round lots. The Funds may fair value a particular bond if the adviser does not believe that the round lot value provided by the independent pricing service reflects fair value of the Funds holding. Short-term debt obligations that mature in 60 days or less, at the time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.

| Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
| April 30, 2026 |
The Funds may hold investments, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These investments are valued using the fair value procedures approved by the Board. The Board has designated the adviser as its valuation designee (the Valuation Designee) to execute these procedures. The Board may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, approval of which shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures established by the Board.
Valuation of Fund of Funds – The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies. Open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. Open-end investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value to the methods established by the board of directors of the open-end investment companies.
The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change.
Fair Valuation Process – The applicable investments are valued by the Valuation Designee pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument; factors which may cause the Valuation Designee to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an ask price is available; the spread between bid and ask prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; and (iv) securities with respect to which an event that affects the value thereof has occurred (a significant event) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Funds calculation of its net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties is unavailable, the Valuation Designee shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of a Funds holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that Funds have the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an active market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Please refer to the Funds prospectuses for a full listing of risks associated with these investments. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of April 30, 2026 for the Funds assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

The Funds did not hold any Level 3 securities during the period.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) – The Funds may invest in ETFs. ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities. The Funds may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. There are risks of owning the underlying securities the ETFs are designed to track, and the lack of liquidity of an ETF may result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
ETF, Mutual Fund and Exchange Traded Note (ETN) Risk – ETFs, mutual funds and ETNs are subject to investment advisory fees or management fees and other expenses, which are indirectly paid by each Fund. Each are subject to specific risks, depending on investment strategy. Also, each may be subject to leverage risk, which may magnify losses. ETNs are also subject to default risks.
Securities Lending Risk – The Funds may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as banks and certain broker-dealers. A Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund (see additional information at Note 7).
Market Risk – Overall market risks may also affect the value of the Funds. The market values of securities or other investments owned by the Funds will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, exchange rates and political events affect the securities markets. Changes in market conditions and interest rates generally do not have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. Unexpected local, regional or global events and their aftermath, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues; recessions and depressions; or other tragedies, catastrophes and events could have a significant impact on the Funds and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Funds net asset value, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. Such events can cause investor fear and panic, which can adversely affect the economies of many companies, sectors, nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. The Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. In times of severe market disruptions, you could lose your entire investment.
Futures – The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. To manage equity price risk, the Funds may enter into futures contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract with a broker, the Funds are required to deposit, in a segregated account, a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities which are classified as cash deposit with broker in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in the net unrealized appreciation from future contracts account. Periodically, the Funds receive from, or pay to the brokers, a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the net unrealized appreciation from open future contracts account. When a contract is closed, the Funds recognize a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange traded and the exchanges clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Futures contracts outstanding at period end are listed after the Funds Schedule of Investments.
The notional value represents amounts related to each Funds futures contracts upon which the fair value of the futures contracts held by the Fund are based. Notional values do not represent the current fair value of the Funds futures contracts. Further, the underlying price changes in relation to variables specified by the notional values, affects the fair value of these derivative financial

instruments. Theoretically, each Funds exposure is equal to the notional value of contracts held. Each Funds obligations will generally equal only the amount to be paid or received through a futures contract.
Options Transactions – The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against risk. When a Fund writes put and call options, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retains the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
The Funds may purchase put and call options. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in a Funds portfolio. If such a decline occurs, a put option will permit a Fund to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by a Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security or index rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to a Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security or index in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to a Fund, the benefits realized by a Fund as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty risk to a Fund since these options are exchange traded and the exchanges clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.
The notional value of the derivative instruments outstanding as of April 30, 2026, as disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the amounts realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period as disclosed below and within the Statements of Operations serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash and overnight investments in interest-bearing demand deposits with a financial institution with original maturities of three months or less. The assets of each Fund may be placed in deposit accounts at U.S. banks and such deposits generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits. The FDIC insures deposit accounts up to $250,000 for each accountholder. The counterparty is generally a single bank or other financial institution, rather than a group of financial institutions; thus, there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. The Funds place deposits only with those counterparties which are believed to be creditworthy.

Security Transactions and Investment Income – Investment security transactions are accounted for no later than the first business day after the trade date, except for reporting purposes when transactions are recorded on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains and losses are calculated based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized over the life of the respective securities.
Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.
Federal Income Taxes – The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute all of their taxable income, if any, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years ended April 30, 2023, to April 30, 2025, or expected to be taken in the Funds April 30, 2026, year-end tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as United States Federal and Ohio. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Generally, tax authorities can examine tax returns filed for the last three years.
Dividends and Distributions – Each of the Funds, except the Tactical Income Fund, will pay dividends from net investment income, if any, at least annually and will declare and pay distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, annually. The Tactical Income Fund pays dividends from net investment income, if any, monthly, and pays distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, annually. The amounts of distributions from net investment income and capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under GAAP. To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in-capital in the period that the differences arises. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.
Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. Each Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.
NOTE 3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement with Toews Corporation (the Adviser) with respect to the Funds. The Adviser has overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of the Funds and their securities portfolios. The Adviser receives a monthly fee payable by the Funds calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of each Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Northern Lights Fund Trust
and the Shareholders of Toews Tactical Income Fund, Toews Hedged U.S. Fund, Toews Hedged Opportunity Fund (formerly, Toews Hedged U.S. Opportunity Fund), Toews Unconstrained Income Fund and Toews Managed Risk Equity Fund (formerly Toews Tactical Defensive Alpha Fund)
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Toews Tactical Income Fund, Toews Hedged U.S. Fund, Toews Hedged Opportunity Fund (formerly, Toews Hedged U.S. Opportunity Fund), Toews Unconstrained Income Fund and Toews Managed Risk Equity Fund (formerly, Toews Tactical Defensive Alpha Fund) (collectively, the Funds), each a separate series of the Northern Lights Fund Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of April 30, 2026, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively, the financial statements), and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of April 30, 2026, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of April 30, 2026, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
